I Practice Farming While the Rest Cultivates

Chapter 489: Chapter 487: By Chance, By Chance _1

As he was contemplating, a layer of spiritual light welled up in his eyes, activating the “Breaking Illusion Eye Technique,” observing the changes in the flow of spiritual power within the Spirit Field.

A Sword Talisman quietly slipped from his sleeve into his hand.

Hiding in the corner of the passage, on the surface, it appeared as if nothing unusual had been noticed.

Under the effect of the Pupil Skill, Lu Xuan noticed a transparent figure silently and swiftly approaching him.

When it was a few feet away, a transparent giant mouth suddenly opened wide, fiercely biting towards Lu Xuan’s body.

Just then, the Flame Demon Worm Mother, who had sneakily slithered over thinking it had succeeded, suddenly saw a gigantic grey-white pupil appear before its eyes.

The pupil seemed to originate from the void, causing layers of ripples to appear in the air around it.

The moment it saw the grey-white pupil, the Flame Demon Worm Mother’s eyes were filled with multiple illusions, losing itself within them, experiencing a moment of disorientation.

The figure of the creature lurking also revealed itself in the process.

A strange insectual creature about a foot long, its body a black-red color and at first glance, looked like it’s made up of countless grotesque Insect Beasts.

The strange insect, influenced by the illusion, immediately sensed danger. A layer of dark flames emerged on its body and burned quietly. The illusions in its eyes vanished like smoke.

Just as it recovered and thought to bring harm to Lu Xuan, it suddenly noticed a silver-white cone stinger appearing in Lu Xuan’s hand.

The stinger was covered with countless complex and profound hollowed-out symbols. The inside was profound, as if to suck in one’s soul.

The moment the symbols on the silver-white stinger flashed, the Flame Demon Worm Mother felt a sharp object ruthlessly pierce into its sea of consciousness, directly running through its divine soul.

In its pain, it let out an utterly painful roar, its body continuously ramming into the stone wall, causing a large number of boulders to fall rattling down.

“Trying to outvoice me, is it?”

Lu Xuan sneered coldly, taking advantage of the situation to attack, the Mirage Sound Pearl integrated in his mouth revealed itself from his throat.

“Roar～!”

An exhilarating roar of a dragon echoed, the waves of sound rolled, containing infinite power, condensing into a line, harshly bombarding the Flame Demon Worm Mother whose divine soul had been severely damaged.

He often went to Thousand Dragon Lake to inspect the Flood Dragons. There was a Fire Separation Flood Dragon that had reached the fourth grade in his cave dwelling. Its roar was already recorded in the Mirage Sound Pearl, and it gave the Flame Demon Worm Mother a sudden blow at this moment.

The Flame Demon Worm Mother was ambushed by the Soul Piercing Needle and Mirage Sound Pearl in succession and was already on its last breath. It had intentions to retreat, its body constantly dispersing, countless insect beasts flying in all directions.

A Sword Symbol in Lu Xuan’s hand flew out, a sun suddenly appeared in the cave’s sky, contracting and expanding. In an instant, countless rays of light burst out, boundless and dense.

Each ray of light was indeed the Great Sun Sword Qi. The Sword Qi was surging and ceaseless, encompassing all the insect beasts, slicing them into countless small fragments.

The tiny insect fragments fell like a downpour, covering the ground with a thick layer.

“I’ve wasted a Fourth Grade Sword Symbol.”

“I only have a little over ten Fourth Grade Sword Symbols left on me, hoping the Sword Nurturing Gourd in the Incomplete Secret Realm can replenish my stock.”

Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Those who plan can be foiled by those who don’t. The fifth-rank Vast Void Eye had the Flame Demon Worm Mother fixed in place for a moment, forcing it to reveal its true form. The Soul Piercing Needle ambushed it, seriously injuring its divine soul, and then the Mirage Sound Pearl followed closely, further beating the Flame Demon Worm Mother into a critical state. Added to that, the Fourth Product Sun Sword Talisman finished the job, completely eliminating the Flame Demon Worm Mother and putting an end to future trouble.

Out of caution, he struck first with his deadly techniques, and up until the Flame Demon Worm Mother was extinguished, it posed no threat to him.

An Outer Realm Demon follower with near-Core Formation strength was so easily taken down by Lu Xuan.

“Having a lot of treasures makes one able to do as they please.”

Lu Xuan sentimentally thought. If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment Late-term Cultivator, not to mention dealing with this Flame Demon Worm Mother, they probably wouldn’t have even noticed the strange insect’s trace before being silently devoured by it.

“Junior Brother Lu, Junior Brother Lu!”

A fiery red flash of light rushed into the Spirit Field like a bolt of lightning.

The form of Fire Scale Child appeared, with a look of urgency on its face.

His Spiritual Sense scanned over it, and when it saw the Sword Qi marks on the stone wall and the thick layer of insect corpses on the ground, it couldn’t help but be taken aback.

“Junior Brother Lu, I’m glad… you’re okay.”

He abruptly shifted from a questioning tone to a declarative one.

“Thank you for your concern, Elder Brother Huo.”

Lu Xuan expressed his gratitude.

Soon, Zhou Yun Ning and Xu Yong also hurried over. Seeing that Lu Xuan was safe and sound, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.

“Elder Brother Huo, has that mutated Elemental Fire Spirit been dealt with?”

Lu Xuan asked aloud.

“It was just a fourth grade spirit beast. Although it became more powerful after mutation, it’s still no match for me.”

A proud expression appeared on Fire Scale Child’s face.

“By the way, Junior Brother Lu, why did you suddenly run over to the Spirit Field? And what’s the deal with these insect corpses underground?”

“While Elder Brother was dealing with the Elemental Fire Spirit, I suddenly wondered whether something might use a strategy to distract us, in order to take the opportunity to reclaim the Demon Flame Worms parasitizing the Spirit Field. Therefore, I came over by myself to check.”

“To my surprise, I was ambushed by a strange insect. It took a lot of effort before I could finally get rid of it.”

Lu Xuan told half-truths and half-falsehoods.

“Junior Brother Lu, do you know what that strange insect is? It might be the one that caused the Elemental Fire Spirit to mutate.”

“I’m sorry for my lack of knowledge. I don’t know the origin of the strange insect.”

Lu Xuan shook his head.

This Flame Demon Worm Mother was an acolyte of the Flame Demon from an outer realm, with immense strength. Sharing this information would only bring trouble to himself.

However, he became more alert in his heart. If even an acolyte had strength nearing Core Formation, one could imagine how strong the Flame Demon must be.

Fire Scale Child nodded when he heard this.

“Judging by the insect’s remains, it must have been an extraordinary demonic creature. It’s pretty impressive that Junior Brother Lu was able to deal with it.”

“It was pure luck,”

Lu Xuan quickly responded.

“Elder Brother, you know me, I enjoy cultivating plants and flowers, but I’m not skilled at combat. I only learned a few sword techniques for the sake of cultivating the Sword Grass, but my skills are merely at the beginner level.”

“For this reason, in order to avoid similar situations, I had to spend a considerable amount of money to buy a fourth-grade Sword Talisman. This helped me to take care of the strange insect all at once.”

“So that’s why.”

Fire Scale Child finally understood the origin of the numerous deep sword marks on the stone wall.

“Elder Brother Huo, you should inspect the Spirit Field and its plants first. The strange insect, in its rushed attempt to retrieve the Demon Flame Worms, might have overlooked whether it was damaging the plants in the process.”

Lu Xuan reminded aloud.

Everyone scattered to inspect the various fire-element spiritual plants in the Spirit Field.

Good thing Lu Xuan made it in time. A few of the spiritual plants in the Spirit Field were harmed during the process of the Demon Flame Worms leaving their bodies, but the numbers weren’t significant. It could be said that the losses were minimized just in time.

“Junior Brother Lu, we’re very fortunate you discovered this in time, otherwise the losses to the spiritual plants in the Spirit Field would have been huge!”

Fire Scale Child said with a lingering fear.

A look of dread washed over Huo Zhen at his side. The thought of all the diligence of their entire tribe potentially going to waste made him shudder. He looked at Lu Xuan with gratitude.

“Elder Brother Huo, you’re overstating it. It was my responsibility.”

Lu Xuan laughed.
